One Ringy Dingy

There's no traffic noise up here, I guess because there are no cars allowed in the general vicinity. The one sound we've got is bells. We're in the general vicinity of 3 huge churches (and I mean huge like you wouldn't believe) and hearing range of a few more, so every quarter hour and especially on the hours we get a series of serenades. If you happen to be outside it's almost deafening. Inside it's pretty pleasant, but we were glad to see that all we got overnight was a simple chiming of the hours. The rest of the day it sounds like a wedding every 15 minutes.

One more little Florence note, the bus tickets here have ads for a dating service on the back.
